Of Erastus Akingbola, Enoch Adeboye And 8000 Instant Elders  
August 19, 2009 | 10 Comments
With another prominent name added, the list of Redeemed Pastors embroiled in scandal or ungodly controversy of varying sorts continues to unfold in alarming fashion. The question I pose - was it Akingbola’s pocket or his person that endeared him to Daddy G.O? What are the criteria for those desirous to come under the banner of ‘Redeemed Pastor’ – charisma or character, politics or principles?

Ibrahim Lamorde (new Acting EFCC Chairman) In His Own Words (2006) - With Section On "EFCC Operations"  
January 16, 2008 | 5 Comments
The initial difficulty that we encountered when we started was the fact that we were a new organization and people did not know us. People were only used to the existing law enforcement agencies and there were instances when people even resisted arrest saying they didn’t know what EFCC was all about. That created some initial problems. However, the Executive Chairman got the police authorities to write letters to all police formations throughout the country, informing them of the existence...

DOCUMENT: Many Nigerians, and informed commentators on demographics have loudly and vehemently condemned and rejected the under- reporting of the population figures "allotted" to Lagos State. Historically, under-counting, deliberate reduction of the state population, started as far as back as 1931 and continued through subsequent censuses, hence the State Government was determined to ensure that recurring injustice would be corrected. The result and the figures announced is an...
